Ear Training
Try a few tunes on diatonic harmonica “by ear” without using sheet music. Try to guess what the next note is without writing anything down. Play the backing track MP3 and start on the hole listed after the name of the song:

Practice Tabbing
Use your diatonic and chromatic resources above and grab each worksheet below. Use the standard notation to tab out each song and then check your work against the answer sheet. If you can do these, you can probably do any song you want. Remember, if a song has sharps (♯) or flats (♭) (and most songs have those) then you must tab it out using a chromatic harmonica.
